Meaco Low-Energy Dehumidifier (12 Litres)

One of the major causes of condensation and mould in the home is drying clothes on radiators or a clothes horse in the winter.

As the clothes dry the moisture is released into the air and the air becomes damp, the room air feels colder, condensation forms on windows and mould grows faster. All dehumidifiers claim that they help to dry laundry but some do it better than others! Your granny will tell you that the best way to dry washing on the line in summer is on a warm, dry and windy day. It is therefore not a huge surprise to learn that the best way to dry washing indoors is by recreating those summer conditions.

Dehumidifiers create the dry air and the fan creates the wind but that wind has to hit the washing for the clothes to dry effectively and quickly. This is where the rotating louvre comes in, driving the dry air across the clothes, up and down, over and over again – you can even direct the air left or right if you have heavier clothes that need extra drying time. Customers who use a dehumidifier to dry their clothes put the clothes and the clothes horse into a small room with the dehumidifier next to them. Using a small room enables the dehumidifier to dry the air faster and achieve the low relative humidity that you need to dry the clothes.

The Platinum Range of dehumidifiers from Meaco creates a new benchmark for domestic dehumidifiers by lowering consumers running costs and increasing build quality to a level that can save customers over a R1000 per year on their electricity bill.

This dehumidifier also has the added benefit of being an air purifier as well; when one selects the AP Mode, the unit runs the fan with the HEPA filter, removing air pollutants.
